AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg pioneered research on living and fossil infusoria (including protists and bacteria) since the 1830s by collecting samples from all over the world, thus describing numerous microbes and discussing their effects for the planet and for humankind. This article introduces Ehrenberg as a natural historian of microbes and situates his work in the nineteenth century life sciences with respect to debates about cell theory, evolution, and concepts of disease. I argue that in spite of occurring before these major conceptual innovations of the life sciences, Ehrenberg's work on the diversity of microbes found in earth or air is more exciting than historiography has made it appear so far, especially in light of today's ecological microbiology.

Impact of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
J Interv Card Electrophysiol
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Basel, Petersgraben 4, 4031, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) complicating ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains clinically challenging. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of NOAF, identify risk factors for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), and analyze the impact on patient care, therapy, and outcomes during long-term follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study reviewed consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) for acute STEMI between May 2015 and September 2023.

Imaging the scattered light of a nanoparticle through a cylindrical capillary.
Nanophotonics
February 2024
Brave Analytics GmbH, Graz, Austria.
In many experiments, nanoparticles are located inside a microfluidic channel, and the light scattered by the particles becomes diffracted through the walls of the capillary. We here derive a simple but accurate approach for simulating the imaging of light through a cylindrical capillary under the assumption that the dimensions of the capillary are much larger than the wavelength of light. A comparison of the simulated images with experimental results shows very good agreement.

Background: Metastatic prostate cancer is a highly heterogeneous and dynamic disease and practicable tools for patient stratification and resistance monitoring are urgently needed. Liquid biopsy analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA are promising, however, comprehensive testing is essential due to diverse mechanisms of resistance. Previously, we demonstrated the utility of mRNA-based in situ padlock probe hybridization for characterizing CTCs.
